We Care About Your Privacy

Nokia Corporation, including its affiliates, is committed to respecting your privacy and to complying with applicable data privacy laws. This privacy statement (“Statement”) describes how we collect and use personal data where Nokia is the data controller or where we refer to the applicability of this Statement. “Personal data” means information about you or another identifiable individual.

We may give you additional privacy information that is specific to a product or service in Supplements to this Statement and other notices you may see while using our products or services. If there is a difference between such notices and this Statement, the notices should be considered first.

Software on your device may access your information. Our products or services may contain links to other companies’ websites and services that have privacy notices of their own. Nokia is not responsible for the privacy practices of others and we recommend you read their privacy notices.

This Statement does not apply to Nokia brand licensed products and services (such as Nokia branded phones and tablets). Please consult the relevant licensee’s own privacy policies regarding these products and services.

You are not required to provide personal data to Nokia. However, if you choose not to provide your personal data to Nokia, we may not be able to provide you with our products or services or all of their functionalities or to respond to queries you have.

We may, in accordance with applicable law, record your communication with our customer care team or with other such contact points.

Positioning and Location data: Location-based services establish location using satellite, mobile, Wi-Fi or other network based positioning methods.

Our products may operate on multiple device platforms, applications and services which may also collect your location data. We do not use this information to identify you personally without your consent.

Why Do We Process Personal Data?

Nokia may process your personal data for the following purposes. One or more purposes may apply simultaneously.

Providing products and services: We may use your personal data in order to provide you with our products and services, to process your requests or as otherwise may be necessary to perform the contract between you and Nokia, to ensure the functionality and security of our products and services, to identify you in order to provide the product or service as well as to prevent and investigate fraud and other misuses.

Accounts: Some services may require an account to help you manage your content and preferences.

Developing and managing products and services: We may use your personal data to develop and manage our products, services, customer care, sales and marketing. We may combine personal data collected in connection with your use of a particular Nokia product and/or service with other personal data that we may have about you, unless such personal data was collected for a different purpose.

We may use your personal data to personalize our offering and to provide you with more relevant services, for example, to make recommendations and to display customized content and advertising in our services. This may include displaying Nokia and third-party content.

Nokia processes your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any product or service you have requested or authorized. We may also process your personal data when required by law; to protect our customers; to maintain the security of our products and services; and to protect rights and property of Nokia.

Do We Share Personal Data?

We do not sell, lease, rent or otherwise disclose your personal data to third parties unless otherwise stated below.

Some products and services may allow you to share your personal data with other users of the product or service or with other services and their users. Please consider carefully before disclosing any personal data or other information that might be accessible to other users.

Nokia companies and authorized third parties: We may share your personal data with other Nokia companies or authorized third parties who process personal data for Nokia for the purposes described in this Statement. This may include for example billing through your network service provider or otherwise, delivery of your purchases, providing services including customer service, managing and analyzing consumer data, credit checks, conducting research and managing marketing and other such campaigns.

These Nokia authorized third parties are not permitted to use your personal data for any other purposes. We require them to act consistently with this Statement and to use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data.

International transfers of personal data: Our products and services may be provided using resources and servers located in various countries around the world. Therefore, your personal data may be transferred across international borders outside the country where you use our services, including to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) that do not have laws providing specific protection for personal data or that have different legal rules on data protection. In such cases we use measures to provide adequate protection for your personal data as required by applicable law, for example, by using standard agreements approved by relevant authorities (e.g. the European Commission) and by requiring the use of appropriate technical and organizational information security measures.

Mandatory disclosures: We may be obligated by mandatory law to disclose your personal data to certain authorities or other third parties, for example, to law enforcement agencies in the countries where we or third parties acting on our behalf operate. We may also disclose and otherwise process your personal data in accordance with applicable law to defend Nokia’s legitimate interests, for example, in civil or criminal legal proceedings.

Mergers and Acquisitions: If we decide to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize our businesses in certain countries, this may involve us disclosing personal data to prospective or actual purchasers and their advisers, or receiving personal data from sellers and their advisers.
